CS (H)195, Fall 2013

General Information on CS H195

The one-unit CS 195 is meant to serve the needs of students who are here
to satisfy a requirement. It is meant to be relatively painless and perhaps
to spark an interest in the topic.

The three-unit CS H195 is meant to allow small-group discussion with the
students who are here out of serious interest. It requires more reading
and more writing (a term paper) in addition to the extra discussion time.

This course does not satisfy the humanities breadth requirement
for EECS students. The EECS faculty made this decision for two reasons:
First, you should take a real humanities course from a real humanities
professor. Second, we want this course to be for people with a genuine
interest in the subject, and small enough to allow real discussion, and
before this decision the people looking to kill two requirements with one
stone crowded out the ones who were really interested.
